Bretta tried to stay calm, knowing she wouldn't be able to do anything if Aizel wanted to kill her.
"You are here for that kid right, go take her with you; we haven't done anything to her." She said. It had little impact on Aizel.
He walked towards the kids who were in the cage.
"Open the cage," Aizel commanded.
Bretta quickly searched for the keys; they were hanging from the wall in the key holder. She hurriedly took them and rushed towards the cage.
She was struggling to open the cage as her hands were trembling with fear. Aizel was right behind her, standing with a blank expression.
When Bretta finally managed to open the cage, Aizel stepped in to check the children's conditions. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized everyone was fine.
"Y... you know, you should be careful," she said.
"It was Leah and her friend, that hunter named Alisha, who tipped us off about you and the kids.
"I found out later that it was all orchestrated by that bitch; she even used you for her own advantage."
Aizel didn't say anything; he took out a clean robe from his storage ring and covered Emma with it while placing her gently on his shoulder.
"You, whose kids are those and the other people who are kept in the cellar outside?"
"They are all the ones who either went against us or haven't paid their debts," Bretta replied quickly and with honesty.
"Bring them with us; we are moving out of the castle," Aizel said. Bretta quickly nodded at his order.
At least she was still alive; she just needed to follow orders and wait for her father to come.
They went ahead and freed everyone in the cellar. As they reached the castle hall, Aizel could see some hunters were still fighting with each other.
He quickly noticed his group, along with Alisha.
"HARRYY..."
He shouted as Harry noticed Aizel and quickly rushed towards him, while the rest of them followed as well.
When they reached him, they saw Aizel with Emma and other kids, as well as more people, along with Bretta.
"You... what happened to you?" Alisha asked. Aizel was fully soaked in blood and even reeked of a corpse.
"Nothing. Harry, could you please take Emma back to Daisy and the other kids at the castle safely?" Aizel asked.
"Yes, of course."
"Alisha, you come with me," Aizel asked and Alisha nodded.
Harry took Emma and the rest of the kids and the people who were locked in the castle with him. He, Nathan, and Alisme went back to Rosewell Castle, while Alisha went with Bretta and Aizel.
Alisha was eyeing Bretta from the corner of her eye to make sure she did not try anything funny.
No one spoke as the trio headed towards the grand hall, from where the sound of battle was echoing.
"Is he an idiot? Why would he take me back to my father after what we have done with him? I guess he is also scared." Bretta thought.
As they reached the hall, they noticed Leah and Yelena were badly damaged and injured.
Tommy, Leah, and Yelena noticed the newcomers who arrived at the hall.
"That's your dad, right? Go," Aizel said to Bretta, which shocked Alisha the most.
Bretta quickly bowed to him and said, "Don't worry; after my dad gets rid of them, I will make sure to tell him about you. I am sure he will forgive you now that you are joining us."
She ran towards her dad with a smile on her face.
"Y... you Aizel, what did you do?" Alisha asked in disbelief.
Aizel didn't say anything as he watched Bretta go toward her dad.
Tommy noticed his daughter was coming in his direction, and he quickly made some spells to keep Leah and Yelena away.
Just as Bretta was about to reach him, a lightning slash came so fast at her that it cut her in half right in front of her dad.
"BREETTTTAAAA..."
Tommy quickly ran towards her body. He kneeled and held her corpse in his arms.
Tears ran down his eyes as he realized that all of his kids were now dead and the culprit was standing right in front of him.
"Why are you crying?" Aizel asked.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. They never thought Aizel would act so cruelly.
"I will soon send you where I sent your kids, and you can be with them again."
Tommy couldn't take it anymore and rushed towards him with his longsword.
"BASTARD, I WILL TEAR YOU TO PIECES AND FEED YOU TO ANIMALSSSS...."
He started slashing his longsword madly at him. Aizel started parrying and dodging it with his sword.
The weight behind the longsword was a little more than Aizel had anticipated and he was having trouble parrying it.
He started backing away from it, but suddenly noticed a water tentacle grip his ankle. Tommy was rushing in his direction.
Bretta did inform him that her dad had a dual-core, so he knew he wouldn't be able to fight against him in the open while holding back.
He used fire magic to quickly free himself from the tentacle, which surprised everyone, including Tommy.
"Y... you were hiding your fire core," Tommy said.
Leah, Alisha, and Yelena also stared at Aizel, surprised—even they hadn't known about it.
"Well, someone said to me it is good to have a trump card with you," Aizel said.
"I have to make sure to get rid of you now," Tommy said gritting his teeth.
He started making water snakes with lightning over them, the same move that injured Leah and Yelena.
"Oh. That's a nice combination; let me copy and show you mine." Aizel said as he started making long fire spears floating above his head and added a little lightning over every flaming spear.
Tommy sent his spell towards Aizel, and every water snake went in his direction with lightning speed leaving blurred images.
Aizel sent his flaming spears to intercept the water snakes. As their spells collided, they burst into steam flying everywhere.
